An Easy Girl
"Une fille facile", a Cannes award-winning production, quietly arrived in the Netflix catalog. And what a pleasant surprise. Directed by Rebecca Zlotowski, the film takes advantage of a bucolic setting to bring a story about growth, maturity, and sexuality. To do this, it tells the story of Naima, a 16-year-old girl living in the beautiful city of Cannes. Things in her life change, however, during the summer when her cousin Sofia arrives from Paris with her urban beauty, her out-in-the-open sexuality, and entering a new phase of her life. With a well-defined setting, the great differential of "Une fille facile" lies in the layers that director Rebecca Zlotowski puts into this seemingly banal story about young relationships - and which reminds, in due proportions, "Call Me By Your Name" and other stories of summer romances. The director here hides everything very well and the experience with the film gains strength in gestures, silences, and looks.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
